Long introductions help you find love

Our data shows that people who write long introductions in their profiles are the ones who find love and serious relationships.

In a recent study, researchers from the University of Chicago found that people who wrote long introductions were more likely to find love and serious relationships than those who wrote short introductions. The study was conducted on individuals and it revealed that those with longer intros were more likely to strike up a conversation with each other than those with shorter intros.

The reason behind this is the feeling that is triggered when we read something interesting or exciting - which is why it's easier to make connections with others when we share interests or have similar backgrounds.

This means that long intros can help you find love, but there is more to it.

Long introductions lead to more activity

A study done by the University of Kansas also found that people who write long introductions in their profiles are more likely to find love and serious relationships. The researchers analyzed data from a dating website and found that people who wrote longer introductions were more likely to stay active on the site for a longer period of time.

This is slightly different from the first conclusion discussed above, since the users’ activity was the reason they eventually found a solid relationship. The activity led the researchers to question the couples that had no intro to a very short one, and had decided to update it at some point and alter its length, replacing it with a long intro, that led to having a relationship.

What they found out was that beside the fact that their profiles stood out in a sea of profiles, they also came out as self confident people.

The surprising discovery

This led the researchers to ask what was the initial reason for leaving the introduction part empty at first. The conclusion was that the users were somewhat afraid of rejection. It seemed that the people who wrote nothing on themselves felt that if they elaborate, but get no attention, it will be considered as rejection. They were trying to avoid rejection and therefore chose not to write anything about themselves, leaving the users who did leave a decent intro to other users who were looking for love.
